More specific, Piazza blames Scully for turning Dodgers fans against him before his trade to the Marlins in 1998.

"The way the whole contract drama looked to them—many of whom were taking their cue from Scully—was that, by setting a deadline and insisting on so much money, I was demonstrating a conspicuous lack of loyalty to the ballclub," Piazza wrote in the book. "I understood that."

Scully denied those allegations when reached for comment by the Los Angeles Times.

"As God is my judge, I don't get involved in these things," Scully told the newspaper. "I can't imagine I would ever put my toe in the water as far as a player and his negotiations. I have no idea where he is coming from. I really have no idea. I can't imagine saying something about a player and his contract. I just don't do that, ever. I'm really flabbergasted by that reference."

The Los Angeles Times notes that Piazza hasn’t stepped foot in Dodger Stadium since his playing career ended after the 2007 season.

"He doesn't want to come back because he thinks the fans will boo," former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda told the newspaper.
